Memorandum for Mr. Tolson.
June 24, 1936.
"Never take a wealthy nan on a jury . . . Don't take a man.
because he is a good man. This means nothing. You should find out
What he is good for."
Mr. Darron thep zoes on to state that he is happy his career..
at the bar was brought to a close,as female jurors. came into prominence
at about this time, and he suspects them of taking "their new..
big word that stands over courts and other hunan activities. A crusade
might go forward for a while but soon its participants auccumb to
human frailties and the whole system is checkered by mistakes. "Many
men are in prison and some are sent to death by nistaken identifica-
tion .
Many are aade from descriptions and photographs and urged.
on by detectives, lawyers and others vitally interested in the result.
In situations of strong agitation, acguittals are rare, and sentences
made long and barbarous and inhuman.*.
Mr. Darrow concluies his article by stating that the social.
forces must seek the causes of crime as has the medical profession,
its cause and then learn how to remove the cause."
Respectfully,
